Gallant Grader Services Inc

Gallant Grader Service is a Hanover, Massachusetts site-work contractor built around dirt-moving jobs — excavation, grading, drainage and utility installation, and paving — for commercial, municipal, and residential clients. It holds MassDOT prequalification across five categories, including drainage, highway construction, and pavement reclamation. Two Google reviews, from 2017 and 2020, tell different stories. In the 2017 review, a homeowner described a subcontractor parking a tractor on their lawn overnight during nearby town work, then damaging the yard further while removing it, with no notice given beforehand. A 2020 review calls it simply ‘a good place,’ without detail. Google separately shows a 4.2-star average from 5 ratings. The company's own site traces its roots to 1963 under founder Jim Gallant, with his son Mike Gallant now running the operation; its BBB filing shows the current corporate entity was incorporated in 1996. Anyone hiring for work near a property line should ask directly about site protection and communication with neighbors, given the 2017 account.
